Opportunity

Are you ready to power the next generation of underwater technology? A confidential employer is seeking a talented Power Electronics Engineer to drive the design and development of advanced maritime systems. Based in the historic and innovative hub of Concord, Massachusetts – with an option for Groton, Connecticut – this role puts you at the forefront of prototype R&D that directly impacts national security and scientific exploration.

Your work will involve designing high voltage and high power electrical components for underwater vehicles, acoustic communication systems, and high-power transmit arrays. You’ll take complex systems from concept to reality, tackling challenges like DC/DC converters, power amplifiers, and energy storage for harsh environments. Everything you build will support missions where reliability and innovation are mission-critical.

This opportunity is ideal for an engineer with a solid foundation in power systems design and a proven track record of bringing high-power electronics to life. You have at least a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, hands-on experience with circuit analysis and PCB design, and a knack for troubleshooting. If you thrive in a small, agile team where your ideas shape real products, you’ll feel right at home. Additional skills in underwater systems, electric machines, or embedded coding will help you stand out.

The employer rewards technical excellence and offers full relocation, giving you a clear path to relocate and make a lasting impact. Here, you won’t be a cog in a machine – you’ll be a key player on a team that values creativity and collaboration. If you’re ready to apply your power electronics expertise to technologies that operate beneath the waves, apply today and let’s talk about how you can power the future.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and integrate complex power electronics systems for underwater maritime applications
  • Debug and test high-power electrical components to ensure reliable system performance
  • Support on-site testing activities, requiring travel up to 25% of the time
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on prototype R&D systems
  • Design DC/DC and AC/DC power systems ranging from 500W to 50kW for harsh environments
  • Implement high availability power supplies and failover systems for mission-critical applications

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience designing electronics for underwater maritime systems is a plus
  • Experience with electric machines and drives design is highly valued
  • Familiarity with power converter topologies and their control methodologies is beneficial
  • Experience overseeing electronic layout, bill-of-materials, and assembly processes is desirable
